First days of school!

Addi started first grade on July 28th! It was so hard sending her to school for the WHOLE DAY! I can't believe she is already 6 years old!!! I was concentrating so hard on being strong and not crying (in front of her at least) when we took her to her first day. I forgot to take Mia's feelings into consideration and when it was time to say goodbye, she was so sad. She said, "Don't go to school Addi". When I saw her bawling, I lost it also. I eventually got over it, but I miss her so much during the day. After a few days Mia got used to it also. She realized that she got to be "Mommy's girl" for the whole day. Addi's favorite thing about first grade is school lunch! I guess it is now "cool" to eat school lunch. I told her that she needed to take cold lunch a couple times a week so she could use her new Hello Kitty lunchbox that she wanted soooo bad! She is doing so well in all her subjects and her favorite is math. She has made a lot of new friends and has a new "best friend" each day.

Mia started her first year of preschool on August 26th! It was so cute, but I really wanted to stay with her at school. Since she is my baby, I wasn't ready to let go of her yet. She was totally ready to let go of me, though! She told me that I didn't need to walk her in on her first day because she was a big girl! She was disappointed when she didn't get any homework and wants to know why she can't stay and eat lunch at school like Addi. One step at a time, Mia! She just wants to do everything that her big sister does.
My two school girls-how crazy!!!
